Abstract

Cryo-EM uncovers polycomb interactions Polycomb family enzymes include the chromatin modifiers PRC1 and PRC2, which are involved in gene repression. Although the catalytic functions of these complexes are well known, their functional relationship is not. Kasinath et al. used cryo–electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to visualize the interactions between nucleosomes containing ubiquitinated histone H2A, the product of PRC1, and the PRC2-activating cofactors JARID2 and AEBP2, providing the molecular basis for PRC1-dependent recruitment of PRC2. They also show that JARID2 and AEBP2 partially overcome the inhibitory effect of PRC2 by two trimethyl lysine transcription marks on histones. This work suggests that PRC2 regulation involves an intricate interplay between PRC2 cofactors and histone posttranslational modifications. Science , this issue p. eabc3393
